I built the majority of the front end UI of the original AdStage platform.I designed email and print collateral to help promote the fledgeling company, and designed several UI concepts as we worked to evolve the platform to its next incarnation.

At Orange Sparkle Ball, I was the first permanent company hire.Working at a small shop allowed me to take on an incredible variety of tasks, from logo design to co-development of a Ruby CMS. Designing and then developing WordPress and Joomla sites for clients, package design, and design of graphic assets for international marketing campaigns for well-known corporations were some specific tasks I undertook.While at Orange Sparkle Ball, I managed other developers, both in-office and remote, during larger projects. In addition, I was usually the point of contact with the client during such projects.The experience gained in dealing directly with clients was invaluable to my professional development.
